Yeah, I think they mis-calculated the landing zone by a little, so the "sleeping upright" on the ground didn't get a direct central hit...

Well, me too, OperaTenor! I've wanted one of those models ever since I first saw one. Just to have. It reminds me of those Rube Goldberg drawings. All this stuff just to play a *note*!
